4.90 m - Befoil 16

Nouveautés 2019 multicoques à voiles

Befoil is a small hydrofoil catamaran for learning. Its designer Benjamin Magnard wants to allow everyone to practice"sailing flight" without taking risks. A catamaran that could be found in sailing schools for example. With its thermomoulded hulls, it will be offered at less than 15 000 ?.

Nouveautés 2019 multicoques à voiles

Presented to the public in Germany in January 2018, the Astus 20.5 arrives in France. This folding trimaran designed by VPLP likes to sail long and fast. Foldable, light, easily transportable, it is an ideal companion for walking along the coasts, or even to organize a trip over a few days.

In line with the Tricat 25, here is the new Tricat 20. With its composite arms that fold back, this trimaran keeps a beautiful habitable volume for its size. The Tricat 20 has a double bed in the front tip and 2 children beds on the benches. True to its reputation, the yard has created a rigid sailboat, capable of good performance while remaining very safe.

8.53 m - Libertist 853

This trimaran was already present at the Grand Pavois 2016. But barely finished and unfinished. It returns this year in a lighter version more sporty. This Lerouge plan should make the powder speak for the pleasure of its crew.

9.98 m - Aventura 34

Thanks to a successful collaboration with the designer Samer Lasta on the engine version, the Aventura 10, the new 10m sailboat has the same angular lines. Measuring no more than 5.30 m wide, this"small" sailing catamaran is designed to be able to cross the Canal du Midi. Available in 2 or 3 cabins, it allows access to the pleasures of sailing a catamaran without ruining yourself with a larger unit.

11.00 m - TS3

That's it, he's sailing! With some delay, this TS3 was launched this summer 2018. Designed by architect Christophe Barreau, the TS3 is built by the Marsaudon yard. The smallest of the range perfectly meets its name: TS for Very Simple! Designed to be carried in a container, this very fast catamaran will be just as comfortable for family cruising as for long voyages or one-design racing.

11.99 m - F40-XX

On paper, this F40-XX from the Italian yard Delta Catamaran has a face. With a glass deckhouse in the middle and a maximum opening between the cockpit and the saloon, this sailboat wants to bring together the 2 spaces by letting in as much light as possible. A unit that brings novelties in this environment waiting for a new concept.

12.35 m - Bali 4.1 Day Charter

Bali are known for being open to the outside world. No more separation between the cabin part and the cockpit. Taking the concept to the extreme, Catana launches the charter version of the 4.1. Thus configured it can take up to 28 passengers for day trips.

14.20 m - Dufour 48

After the acquisition of Dufour by Fountaine-Pajot, one would have thought that the catamaran project would go out of business. Well no, the first one has been sailing since this autumn and more have already been ordered. This 48 foot catamaran comes exactly into the heart of the cruising catamaran market. We look forward to finding out to validate the concept.

14.99 m - ITA 14.99

Racé, elegant and undoubtedly powerful, the new Italian shipyard ITA Catamarans launches here a model which displays broad ambitions. Both very cosy for a comfortable cruise it is also equipped with daggerboards and a slim sail plan for performance. Announced, but late, he will be sailing his first boats this autumn.

15.40 m - Leopard 50

Manufactured in South Africa by Roberston & Caine, the Leopard 50 is available in two versions. The first 50P (Performance) does not have a flybridge and the helm station is located behind the deckhouse bulkhead. Less wind drag, less weight and a larger GV surface. The second version: 50L (Lounge) is equipped with a flybridge with the helm station under the boom. This cruising yacht continues to offer a forward cockpit with direct access from the deckhouse. A very appreciable configuration when cruising.

16.60 m - TS5

Marsaudon Composite is used to offering catamarans that are at the border between the cruising sailboat and the racing beast. Still based on Christophe Barreau's drawing board, this 50 foot catamaran is distinguished by a very short nacelle for its weight and a generous sail area. A catamaran that should be able to make the powder speak.

16.80 m - Bali 5.4

Maintaining the concept of the large cockpit which opens entirely to the interior (or the opposite!), the Bali 5.4 is the largest catamaran in the range. Built at Catana in Canet en Roussillon, it has just been launched to join a rental fleet. Huge, it can receive up to 6 double cabins with 2 single berths in the front, bringing the number of crew to 14..

18.30 m - Sunreef 60

Pleasure and safety in an out of the ordinary comfort, that's what sums up the latest addition to the Polish Sunreef yard. The production of this catamaran is closer to a production closer to the series than to the one off. The fact remains that this luxury unit is primarily aimed at customers who love beautiful things.

18.60 m - MC 60

After the MC50, here comes the new 18-m Mc Conaghy! And if the"small" 50 has already made a name for itself with its devastating look and its very open layout, the new 60 takes up the same concept in more spacious. A catamaran which impresses and which should also leave many others behind by its performances under sails.

20.46 m - NEW 67

It will be the largest boat in the Fountaine-Pajot fleet. This 67-foot (20.46 m) boat, which should soon find a baptismal name, will be luxuriously equipped. The foredeck will receive a jacuzzi for example! In this catamaran size, the fly is huge with the cockpit and a very large sun space. Inside, the available fittings propose to install the galley classically under the deckhouse or to offset it in the port hull. The square then becomes a huge lounge.

24.40 m - Sunreef 80

Out of proportion! The Sunreef 80 (just like the 60 also came out this year!) tries to make cruising accessible on luxury catamarans. Perfect finishes, comfort on all floors, but less personalization than on the other models of this shipyard based in Gdansk, Poland. And yet the light and life on board are always exceptional on these superb machines, more adapted to anchorages than to Dantesque sailing.
